This parent fractal consists of ; three large bays, vertically-stacked. Today's scene is located ; on the southwest shore line of the middle bay, deep in the ; valley that separates it from the lower bay. Most of the effect ; of the image is a result of rendering the scene with the outside ; set to 'tdis'. ; ; There is no way I could give a rating to an image that I found ; in about 2 minutes. The name "Minor Miracle" refers to the fact ; that, with the work stacked up as it is, it's a minor miracle ; that I found it at all. ; ; The calculation time of under 2 minutes will cause no boredom. ; And the finished image is posted for instant viewing on the FOTD ; web site at: ; ; ; ; Winter became quite obvious here at Fractal Central on Saturday, ; as light snow fell all day and the temperature hovered around ; 28F -2C. By nightfall about 2 inches, 5cm had piled up. ; ; (Curiously enough, about an hour ago I got a phone call from my ; sister back at Old Fractal Central telling me that the snow ; there, about 150 miles south of here, is over 16 inches (40cm) ; deep, and drifted twice that high.) ; ; The fractal cats gave the outside little attention, remaining ; close to the heat all day. The next FOTD is due in 24 hours. ; But as always, there is no guarantee that it will appear on ; schedule. So until next time, take care, and be with peace. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Minor_Miracle { ; time=0:01:51.49-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-0.11237331534/-1.335543403876/2.7e+007\ /1/-87.5/0 params=-5/-1.5/-1/-5/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 outside=tdis periodicity=6 colors=000zzmjJXbQTVWPOaLGgHQw49mDCkCEiCGgCJeCLcCN\ aCQ_CSYCUWCWVCZTB`RBbPBeNBgLBiJBlHBnFBpDBrCBnFFkII\ hLLdOPaQSZTVVWZSZaPadMcgNahN`iOZjOYjPXkPVlQUlQSmRR\ nRQnPRlOSjNThLUfKUdJVbHW`GXZ8jVFXY13XMJ`ZLefYdmjct\ vcuubuuauu`uu_utZutYutXutWusVusUusUusTurSurRurQurP\ uqOuqNuqMuqLytKuqLqoLmlMijMegNaeNZcOV`ORZPNWPJUQFR\ QBPR7LT8NR8OQ9PO9QN9RLASKATIAUHBWFBXECYCCZBC_9D`8D\ a6C`4Db5Ed5Fe5Gg5Hh5Ij5Jk6Km6Ln6Mp6Nq6Os6QtK_ucivo\ ovyqvysvxvvxxuzvuzsuvptumsulrtlpskosjnrinrimqhmpgm\ pglofloelnekmdkmcklcklajm_imYhmWgmUfnTjnRinPhnNgoL\ foJeoIdoGcpEbpCapA`pAeo9`p8Wq7Sr9UoAVmBWkDXiEYgFZe\ G_cI`aJa_KbYMcWNdUOeSPfQOePOePNePNeOMeOMeOLeOLdNKd\ NKdNJdMJdMIdMIdMHcLHcLGcLGcKFcKFcKCeFFcKIbOK`TN_XQ\ Y`SXeVViVTpXUmYUkZUi`UgaUebUccUaeU_fUYgUWhUUjUSkUQ\ lUOmUMoUKpUIqUGrUEtUCuUAvU8wU6sRBoOGkMLgJQcHV_E_V9\ aWCcWFdXIeXLgoaOmXRlSTkNV } frm:MandAutoCritInZ {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(((-a*b*g*h)^j)+(p4)), k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
